disclaimer - I know practically nothing about this subject matter, and will attempt to provide all relevant information, but if you need further details just ask and I'll do my best to provide them.
Hi all from Richmond, Virginia! Recently had some gas logs installed in our fireplace and...we're a little concerned that they might not be installed properly. And might also be a little scared of blowing up our house.
Is it a risk for the gas line insert to be located that high above the logs? When we voiced this concern during installation we were told, "I didn't have the tool to go through the floor, so I had to put it there."
It just looks like shoddy work, and we're completely unknowledgable about how to research building codes / permits. And honestly we don't even know if they had the proper permits to do such an installation. What should we be looking for to determine the quality of work done? We would like to call a county building inspector first thing Monday morning, but would like to be sure we have reason to do so first.
Please let me know what additional details you may need - thank you!
